WP.29 | Session 169 | 21-24 Jun 2016

86. The World Forum was informed by the secretariat of the Working Party of Road Safety (WP.1) about the outcome of the WP.1 March 2016 session on issues of common interest for WP.1 and WP.29. Focus had been on two issues (a) the ongoing amendment proposals to Annex 5 of the 1968 Convention on Road Traffic dealing with the provisions for the lighting and light-signaling devices to be harmonized with those under the 1958 Agreement and (b) the amendment proposals to the 1949 Convention on Road Traffic. As concerns the latter, WP.1 noted that, due to different legal procedures, the corresponding amendments to the 1949 Convention could not be successfully adopted; WP.29 was informed that WP.1 consequently might further review how the 1968 and 1949 Conventions can remain aligned, as needed.
